Scary Wet Markets.
Inside Nigeria's wet markets: Shocking footage reveals pangolins, sea turtles and monkeys being sold in Lagos both dead and alive - raising fears the next virus could come from Africa
EXCLUSIVE: GRAPHIC WARNING - WildatLife, a charity working on the ground in Nigeria, visited Oluwu fish market in Epe, 55 miles east of Lagos, and took the shocking footage. Myriad animals including pangolins, primates and sea turtles are held - both dead and alive - in confined spaces while workers fail to sanitise and do not wear appropriate PPE, including gloves. Video also shows many of the animals being abused before they are slaughtered, with examples of extreme abuse including pangolins, dogs and manatees being boiled alive. The Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market in Wuhan is the Chinese wet market which is thought to have been the site where SARS-CoV-2, the pathogen causing the current coronavirus pandemic, first infected a human. This is an example of zoonotic transmission where viruses jump from animals to people and bringing a wide range of animals into a small space alongside humans in unclean conditions is a perfect recipe for disease. Malcolm Bennett, Professor of Zoonotic and Emerging Disease at Nottingham University, told MailOnline: 'If you were to want to maximise the risk of zoonotic transmission you would mix human contact with a wide range of animals - domestic and wild - and bring them together both alive and dead in the same area.'
